    The Greed Depression Large Format Silkscreen Print by NoName x Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Deckled Archival Cotton Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 80 Artwork Size 23.75x31.5 Silkscreen Print "My friend No Name and I collaborated recently on a print inspired by my cover for George Orwell’s “Down and Out in Paris and London” and our mutual irritation with greed and the brutality of many aspects of capitalism. No Name and I are both frustrated by the forces which convince much of the public to fall in line with a system that grinds them (and most of us) in its gears, and contributes to feelings of insecurity. With that in mind, don’t buy this print if you should use the money for something better or nothing at all. Should you think it over and still want a print, your money will support No Name’s public art endeavors and survival within the gears of capitalism… oh, and mine too! We both appreciate the support. No Name wrote about the print in greater depth, so I’ll let him take it from here!" -Shepard Fairey "I was introduced to Georg Orwell’s novels back in the late ’90s through my english teacher, an insignificant-looking sarcastic little man, who mantra-like implanted us the adage “use your common sense.” Nearly one decade later, I rediscovered Orwell’s books – and thoughts – through the appealing cover layout design by the kindred spirit street art activist Shepard Fairey, who I’m glad to call a friend today for many years. Shepard and I were discussing his illustration for “Down and Out” which he actually, for some reason, hadn’t made as a print edition yet. Due to the fact that Orwell’s dystopian books were/are one of the leading inspirations for our philosophy and work, Shepard offered to team up and use the illustration for a collaboration." -NoNAME

    Yusuke Hanai Popcorn Bowie Mixed Media Sculpture by Yusuke Hanai x Netflix

    Popcorn Bowie Mixed Media Sculpture by Yusuke Hanai x Netflix Limited Edition Modern Pop Graffiti Street Art Artwork. 2023 Stamped & Numbered Limited Edition of 500 Artwork Sculpture Figure Size 2x7.3 Bowl 8.27x8.27 New In Box. The Artistic Synthesis of Pop Culture and Street Art: Popcorn Bowie by Yusuke Hanai x Netflix In modern pop graffiti and street art, "Popcorn Bowie," a mixed media sculpture by Yusuke Hanai in collaboration with Netflix, emerges as a significant piece. This 2023 creation is a testament to the artist's skill and a cultural commentary bridging the world of entertainment and fine art. With its unique design, the figure is stamped and numbered as a limited edition of 500, ensuring its status as a collectible piece. The sculpture itself is compact, with the figure size at 2x7.3 inches, and is presented with an 8.27x8.27 inches bowl, new in the box. Yusuke Hanai, a Japanese artist known for his distinct style that draws from traditional Japanese aesthetics and the global surf culture, has infused "Popcorn Bowie" with a playful yet thoughtful character. This work is an ode to the era of street pop art, wherein elements of graffiti's spontaneity and pop art's fascination with mass culture converge. The sculpture is a nod to the iconic figure of David Bowie, a fitting subject for a piece that seeks to embody the spirit of pop art, with its constant dialogue with popular culture and celebrity. The relaxed posture of the figure, coupled with the inclusion of a popcorn bowl, suggests a moment of leisure and entertainment, themes frequently explored in Hanai's work. The artwork's title, "Popcorn Bowie," evokes a sense of casual enjoyment while referencing the legendary music icon known for his transformative and boundary-pushing persona. This duality is at the heart of street pop art — the everyday meeting of the extraordinary and the mundane interspersed with sparks of brilliance. Materiality and Meaning in Popcorn Bowie: A Contemporary Artifact Materially, "Popcorn Bowie" is a symphony of various media, indicative of the street pop art tradition of utilizing diverse materials to create multifaceted works. The sculpture's mixed media nature — likely including elements such as resin, paint, and possibly more unconventional substances — resonates with the principle of graffiti art, which uses whatever materials are available to communicate with the public. Each sculpture, part of a limited series, bears the mark of exclusivity and is a tangible piece of Hanai's vision, stamped and numbered to assert its authenticity and collectibility. The narrative that "Popcorn Bowie" encapsulates is reflective of the times — a modern piece that draws from various facets of contemporary life. The collaboration with Netflix, a giant in modern entertainment, highlights the intersection of street art's underground roots with mainstream cultural phenomena. This partnership is a testament to the evolving nature of street pop art and graffiti artwork, where countercultural movements now engage openly with corporate entities, signaling a new chapter in the art form's history. Cultural Implications of Yusuke Hanai's Collaboration with Netflix The cultural implications of such a collaboration are vast. Yusuke Hanai's "Popcorn Bowie" becomes an object of visual delight and a marker of the times. It signifies the breaking down of barriers between different artistic disciplines and the increasing recognition of street pop art within the broader context of cultural production. The sculpture's connection to Netflix — a platform that has revolutionized the way stories are told and consumed — adds a layer of contemporary relevance to the piece, making it a modern artifact that is both a work of art and a cultural commentary. In essence, "Popcorn Bowie" is more than a sculpture; it is a conversation piece that invites reflection on the nature of art, entertainment, and the spaces in between. As a limited edition work, it represents the artist's unique vision and captures the zeitgeist of the era in which it was created. Collectors and admirers of street pop art and graffiti artwork will find in "Popcorn Bowie" a convergence of playfulness and profundity, a hallmark of Yusuke Hanai's artistic journey and a vibrant example of the continuous evolution of street-inspired art.

Depression & Depressed Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Reflecting Emotional Turmoil: Depression in Street Pop Art and Graffiti

Depression, a topic that has long been a subject of artistic exploration, finds a poignant and powerful expression in street pop art and graffiti. In this realm, artists have leveraged the public canvas to depict the struggles, emotions, and experiences associated with depression, creating artworks that resonate deeply with viewers. This form of artistic expression serves not only as a catharsis for the artists but also as a means to raise awareness about mental health issues, breaking down stigmas and fostering a dialogue about an often misunderstood condition.

Depression in Street Art: A Tool for Awareness and Empathy

Street art and graffiti have always been mediums for social commentary and personal expression. Artists dealing with depression often use these platforms to communicate their inner turmoil and to reach out to others who may be undergoing similar experiences. Through their art, they depict the various facets of depression, from feelings of isolation and despair to the search for hope and understanding. The use of public spaces for such artworks makes the topic more visible, challenging the societal tendencies to overlook or stigmatize mental health issues. Furthermore, these pieces often become sites of communal interaction, where viewers can reflect upon their own experiences with depression or gain insights into the struggles faced by others.

Visual Representation of Depression in Graffiti Art

The visual representation of depression in graffiti art often involves a stark, impactful use of imagery and color. Artists may employ monochromatic schemes or subdued palettes to convey feelings of sadness and emptiness, while others use contrasting bright colors to represent the emotional turmoil and complexity surrounding depression. Symbolism is a common tool, with motifs such as broken figures, obscured faces, or elements of nature in decay being used to embody aspects of mental suffering and despair. These visual elements work together to create a powerful narrative that can be both deeply personal and universally relatable, bridging the gap between the artist and the viewer.

Notable Artists and Their Contributions to the Theme of Depression

Several street artists have gained recognition for their works that focus on depression and mental health. These artists bring their personal experiences and perspectives to their art, creating pieces that are both intimate and impactful. For example, some artists have used their work to chronicle their journeys through depression, employing a series of murals or installations that reflect different stages of their experience. Others have focused on creating singular, striking pieces that capture a specific emotion or moment related to their struggles. These artworks not only serve as a means of personal expression but also contribute to the broader conversation about mental health, encouraging empathy, understanding, and support for those affected by depression. The exploration of depression in street pop art and graffiti is a poignant reminder of the power of art to express, communicate, and connect. Through their vivid and often visceral depictions of mental health struggles, artists create a space for dialogue and understanding, contributing to a greater awareness of depression and its impact on individuals and society. Their works stand as testaments to both the pain of mental illness and the resilience of the human spirit, offering hope and solidarity to those who encounter them.
